The police at Ejigbo have begun a manhunt for a popular
pastor who allegedly bolted with N 10 million given to him
by a member of his church to pray over it before he could
use the money to start a business in Lagos State, western
Nigeria .
The pastor the police identified as Timothy Gabriel from
Ihite , Anambra State , eastern Nigeria , resides at Jakande
Estate , Ejigbo , where he also uses as his church and
where the incident happened .
The victim (namewithheld ) reportedly obtained the loan
from a bank with an interest which he intended to use to
start a new business .
P . M. NEWS gathered that before the victim went to the
bank to process the loan , he informed the pastor whom
he regarded as his spiritual father.
The pastor promised him that he would offer prayers to
God so that the loan would be obtained successfully . .
When the victim finally got the loan , he informed the
pastor about it and the pastor told him that he had a
revelation from God that the money was a blood money
and if he used it for the business he intended to use it for ,
it will be unsuccessful .
The pastor reportedly told him that he should bring the
money so that he would anoint it and offer some prayers
for three days before he would use it to start the
business .
The victim took the money to him at his home at Jakande
Estate which also serves as his church .
The pastor told him to come back in three days’ time to
collect the money and start the business .
The victim , who did not suspect any foul play, went back
to his base and when he returned to collect his money
from the pastor , the man had packed his property and fled
with the money.
He became confused and did not know what to do initially
but later went to the police and reported the matter.
Police sources at Ejigbo Division confirmed the incident
and said they were on the trail of the pastor .
